Poland has shot down Russian drones over its territory, marking the first time a NATO member has actively engaged in the Ukraine war. The move comes amid rising tensions along Eastern Europe’s borders and ongoing Russian drone attacks targeting neighbouring countries.
Officials in Warsaw confirmed that Polish air defense systems intercepted multiple drones, preventing potential damage to populated areas and critical infrastructure. The incidents underline growing fears in NATO that the conflict in Ukraine could spill over into alliance territories.
This development represents a significant shift, as NATO has so far largely provided support to Ukraine through military aid and intelligence, without direct engagement in hostilities. Analysts say Poland’s actions signal a heightened willingness among some member states to defend their airspace and citizens against threats linked to the war.
The Polish government has stressed that these measures are defensive, aiming to protect national security. Meanwhile, NATO allies are reportedly monitoring the situation closely to assess any broader implications for regional stability and alliance commitments.
Experts warn that such incidents could further escalate tensions between Russia and NATO, highlighting the delicate balance in a conflict that continues to draw international attention.
